minus-square8ace40@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoI’m in south America and there’s a lot of plant based burgers available. And you know what? The cheapest costs double of a 100% beef burger. Coincidentally, the half beef, half soy protein burgers are half price of 100% beef burgers, 1/4 of full plant based burgers. Why is that? The half soy burgers are made by the same companies as the full beef burgers, might be related to economies of scale?
minus-squareTavarin@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoPossibly subsidies too, government there might be subsidizing cattle farming.
minus-squareitchy_lizard@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoI live in SA. This ismisinformation. Its absolutely cheaper to buy plant based meat alternatives (beans) than to buy dead animals here.
